You have to combine like terms.
Answer: -2a+7
<span>Melanie had 2 1/2 bags of sand for a sandbox. The sandbox needs 3 1/4 bags of sand to fill it.
Melanie said she still needs 3/4 of a bag to fill it. Is that answer reasonable?
</span><span>
3.25 or 3 and 1/4 - 2.25 or 2 and 1/2= .75 or 3/4</span> so the answer is C.
Are you trying to write an equation?
y-8=2(x-3)
y=2x-6+8
y=2x+2
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equations f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x.
We want to find f(g(4))
Essentially, what we are doing, is plugging in 4 into x for g(x) and the outcome of that is what we plug into x for f(x)
So first lets plug in 4 into x for g(x)
g(x) = 6 + 8/x.
We want to find g(4)
g(4) = 6 + 8/4
First divide 8 by 4
g(4) = 6 + 2
Then add 6 and 2
g(4) = 8
Now that we have found g(4) we want to plug the value of g(4), so 8 into f(x)
f(x) = 2x - 3
we want to find f(8)
f(8) = 2(8) - 3
* multiply 2 and 8 *
f(8) = 16 - 3
* subtract 3 from 16 *
f(8) = 13
and we are done!
So we can conclude that f(g(4)) = 13
